BSoD errors like cldft.sys can upset your routine if they happen frequently enough. For us, it kept logging us out of Steam, and that is pretty annoying. We compiled these tested solutions to ensure you don’t go through the same.

What is the cldft.sys error?

This is a type of BSoD error that causes your PC to crash but restarts after a while. If left unresolved, it increases in frequency and can occur up to three times a day.

Most BSoD errors are caused by software conflicts, and for this one, KeePass, a password manager, seems to be at the center stage. Other possible reasons could be a problematic Windows update, outdated drivers, or hardware failure.

How do I fix the cldft.sys error?

Check off the following preliminary steps before moving on to the complex solutions:

1. Reinstall the conflicting program

Observe how your PC behaves over the next few days and see whether it will throw the cldft.sys error again. If it doesn’t, it means the previous app installation was corrupt and has now been fixed.

However, if the BSoD error persists, you might have to do away with the KeePass app. Lucky for you, you’ll findother password managersjust as good or even better.

2. Uninstall recent Windows update

3. Perform DISM and SFC scans

Alternatively, if you’d prefer to save time and prevent other issues from occurring, I recommend a handyBSoD fixer.

4. Create a new user profile

A new profile should dispel any doubts of acorrupt user profile.

5. Update your PC’s BIOS

An outdated BIOS is one of the major causes of hardware and software conflicts, so updating it should clear any compatibility issues and resolve the cldft.sys error.

6. Perform a clean boot

7. Perform an in-place upgrade

When it comes to BSoD errors like cldft.sys orWpprecorder.sys, it’s usually trial and error until you get down to that solution that fixes it. We have already outlined ageneral BSoD repair guidefor such issues.
